If you haven’t discovered the concept of Servant Leadership you are not alone. The modern servant leadership movement was launched by Robert K. Greenleaf in his 1970 essay, “The Servant as Leader”, and although this management style has been around for years the concepts and underlying philosophies were often practiced in ‘Faith Based’ businesses and organizations. But this is now changing ……

Companies that have adopted the principles of Servant Leadership (sometimes known as the New Golden Rule). Companies are quickly discovering that the philosophies, if honestly adopted:

• Create intensely positive supportive relationships,
• Fiercely loyal employee employer relationships,
• Intensified productivity,
• Sustainable growth and
• Higher profits.

Join Ken and Colleen for this informative session on a new way to create success in your organization!

Discover a Different Way to Create Success

Servant leadership requires acknowledging people, backing people up and treating people as business partners—in short, “leading with love.” It is not soft management; it’s smart management.

When leaders focus on positive relationships in addition to profits, they end up with an abundance of both.

Join business guru Ken Blanchard and Southwest Airlines president emeritus Colleen Barrett as they explore the keys to creating an organizational culture that achieves and sustains high performance.

During this program you’ll hear about the leadership secrets that have propelled Southwest Airlines and other great companies to unparalleled success.

What You Will Learn:

Drawing from their new book, Lead with LUV, these two legendary leaders will explain what this all means, why it works and how it can help you achieve unprecedented business performance:

• What “leading with love” looks like within an organizational context
• How to build the right vision and help your people succeed in the long term

While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required.
